RHEL 5.6 beta released

Submitted by dag on Tue, 2010/11/09 - 23:26

While everyone is waiting for RHEL6's general availability, the normal minor update releases for the aging RHEL5 product are still being churned out with today's release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 Beta as a prelude.

Compared to earlier Beta announcements, this one is quite meager with a small list of updates:

If you have Red Hat Network entitlements you should have access to the RHEL 5.6 Beta and now is the time to report any issues you may find !

If you are looking for the RHEL 5.6 Beta ISO images, go to Red Hat Network, log in, click on Download Software, expand the RHEL5 channel for your architecture and go to the Beta channel. There you can find the RHEL 5.6 Beta ISO images.

Enjoy !

PS The newer 2.6.18-229.el5 kernel is not publically available, but you can find slightly newer kernels (that are closer to what RHEL 5.6 will ship with) at http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5/ So if you're using CentOS, test it and report any issues to Red Hat directly !
